Add a widget area in Metro Pro

[erionshehaj]

Good morning

I'm trying to add a third widget area to the home-middle section that aligns alongside the home-middle-left and home-middle right.

So far:

1. I registered the widget area as a sidebar on Theme Functions, Named it "home-far-right"
2. Added the widget area on the front.php file.
3. Added a featured post widget into "home-far-right". Called it Category 3

The problem is that this widget area currently shows below the "home-middle-right" instead of alongside it.
I think this is because the primary sidebar is there and there's no more space.

My question is, how do I make the primary sidebar to show after the home-middle section?

Please help if you can

Thanks

Look at the CSS rules for home-middle-left and home-middle-right in your theme's style.css - you'll need to alter the width of both, as well as add style rules for the new widget area. Right now home-middle-left and home-middle-right are 332px wide, which doesn't leave room for the third area. That's why it's being pushed underneath the other two areas. Also, it looks like the home-far-right is identified somewhere as home-middle-right, so check your functions.php and front.php to make sure you didn't forget to change the name in one of the additional functions.
